We only have one life, live it to the fullest.

We don't know what lies ahead of us. Moments of endless laughter and joy turns to tears and sadness. We sleep at night and might not be able to see the light again. We leave our homes not knowing what might happen to us outside.

Last night my boyfriend's brother came home. He surprised his siblings, riding on his blue motorbike, he showed up with a big smile. He is serving the country in the Armed Forces of the Philippines. He was vey happy to return home and announce that his girlfriend will soon give birth to their first child. They had a few drinks at home, laughter and joyful conversation prevailed until almost 12 midnight. He brought with him a dozen of instant coffee in his bag. At 3:00am they all woke up. Him getting ready to return to his post and the others preparing for their early routine for work. They told him to stay for a day but he refused. He needs to be in his post by 8:00am. He bid goodbye and said he'll be coming back. He gave them a last smile and glance and that was the last time they'd seen him alive. At 9:00 am, we received a call informing us that he got involved in a road accident. My boyfriend was dumbfounded and froze as I gasped and hugged him. He went to his older brother's house to help with the arrangements. When he came back here at noon, after we ate lunch, we cooled ourselves outside under the shade of a tree on a hammock. He burst into tears. I feel sorry for him. He cried and cried and I was telling him that his brother is in a better place, that we should be thankful to God for he never let his brother suffer. He was dead on a spot while riding back to the city. That was the first time I've seen him cried. Heartbroken and he still can't believe it. He loves his brother. They grew up together in a small hut near a river with their parents. He often shares stories of their childhood. Getting a good spank after playing in the river, them looking for firewood and happy memories. He looks up to his brother and proud of him.

His remains is still in the morgue as I write his. My boyfriend still sobs and cry. I just need to be at his side and be with him for emotional support. He doesn't have the appetite to eat anything but I told him to at least eat something to fill his tummy which he does. I know this will change everything.

Life is unpredictable.

We can't tell on when we leave this world. In a split second of wrong decision and move we might die. Life is precious. Life is a gift. We can only live once make the most of it. Be happy. Avoid negativity. Inspire and be inspired.
